SOCIETY DOINGS 'Squire J. T. Ault Given an Agreeable Birthday Surprise. A JUBILEE SOCIAL Will be Given by M. E. Mite Society—Christmas Family Reunions. A Christmas Thought. Not what we give but what we share For the gift without the giver is bare; Who gives himself with his alms feeds three — Himself, his hungry neighbor and Me. —Lowell, “Vision of Sir Launfal." An unusually beautiful bridge party of the Christmas season was that given by Mrs. H. W. Pierce and Mrs. C. F. Kettler at the Pierce residence on East Jefferson street. An elaborate decoration transformed the stairway into a Christmas pathway, hung with southern smilax and with holly and red berries at effective distances. Clarence Cominsavish exerted his artistic taste throughout the house, which was hung with holly wreaths and bright with vases of scarlet carnations and gay Richmond roses. The doorways and chandeliers were beautiful with their decorations of southern smilax and holly and the Christmas colot scheme prevailed in the 'party, to score cards and menus. I Glowing red tapers lighted each table at supper, which was made doubly attractive by the program of McDdwell selections which Miss Martha Kettler gave during the refreshment hour. The Misses Helen Kettler, Minnie, Thompson and Jennie Winbaugh assisted in serving the menu. —Fort I Wayne Journal-Gazette. The ladies of the Methodist Mite society held their regular fortnightly social Friday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. T. Merryman. The attendance was quite good, the collection amounting to four dollars. The society has planned to give a Jubilee social in two weeks in the church parlars in rejoicing over the fact that they are clear from debt and begin a new year with a clear record. Only ' a few weks ago the society raised the last sum of their apportionment of the money for the recent improvements of the church, this putting them out of debt. At. the Jubilee social, a good program of speech and song will be given, and there will be other tea- j 1 tures of entertainment appropriate to ! the occasion. Mr. and Mrs. I. A. Kalver entertained a company of their friends last evening at. their beautiful home on North Second street and the hours glided by rapidly. Music by Mr. Fred Patterson and Mr. Ned Steele, with Mrs. Barnard at the piano, was a feature of the entertainment. Various games and contests, in which the men sewed buttons on a piece of cloth and the ladies rolled cigarettes furnished much amusement. The -luncheon was most delicious. The D. B. Steele family of West Monroe street will have a happy reunion Christmas, when all the children and their families will be at home. Mr. and Mrs. Ernest Steele and children will come from Laporte, Mr. and Mrs. Charles Barnhart and daughter from Attica, Mr. and Mrs. Albert Parker from Cayuga and Forest and Gene Steele ffom Fort Wayne.
